  • Our next softball season is here! Once again we will be playing all of our games on Tuesday evenings at 7 PM (warmups at 6:30 PM). Games will begin on May 5. We will also combine with Sanctuary for practice on Sunday, May 3 at 4 PM, before games start.


    If you are interested in joining, come on out to the field! You do not have to be a member of the church to play–feel free to invite a friend! Youth ages 13 and up are welcome to play with a responsible adult at the field.


    For more information and a game schedule, contact Kristi Weatherwax.
